Gelbbrustara

One of the most striking and widely kept macaw species, blue-and-yellow macaws display brilliant cobalt blue upper parts contrasting with vivid yellow underparts and green forehead. They inhabit forest, woodland, and savanna from eastern Panama through Venezuela, Brazil, and Bolivia to Peru and Ecuador. Highly intelligent, they live in pairs or small flocks, feeding on palm nuts, seeds, and fruit. Popular in aviculture for over 400 years, they can live 80+ years in captivity.

Gloeocapsa compacta is a colonial cyanobacterium in the family Microcystaceae, forming clusters of cells encased in thick, layered mucilaginous sheaths. It is commonly found on moist rock surfaces, soil crusts, and bark in terrestrial and semi-aquatic environments.
